Watergate Prosecutor: Mueller Probe Is 'History Repeating' Itself | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

Special Counsel Bob Mueller reportedly wants to interview the man who set up the 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer promising dirt on Hillary Clinton – Russian pop star, Emin Agalarov. Watergate Prosecutor Nick Akerman tells “The Beat” that despite his claims, Trump wants to meet with Mueller “like he wants to go in for a root canal”, otherwise he would have done so “a long time ago”.

Watergate Prosecutor: Mueller Probe Is 'History Repeating' Itself | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

[jimburig]

The wrong side of DOJ, like Trump? Now he has this Q-anon cult in his base. Trump is an enemy of the state yet he's living in the White House, Air Force One at his disposal.

[MsMary]

Every character on the Trump side in this real life dramedy is shady, shady shady

[ruthdepew]

I know how to get Trump to demand a Mueller interview. Tell him they will televise it and he will have the highest TV ratings in history. Tell him he will get higher TV rating than even Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas.

[lordbyron]

“.... History repeating itself all over again...” Lock him up !

[rosesflowers]

Rubbing it in the United States citizen's faces.

[Refreshb]

They knew what they were doing. Or they wouldn't be forcing a Constitutional crisis trying to cover it up.

[mypillowguy]

You don't set up meetings in the middle of a hectic presidential campaign for "nothing". You don't take meetings in the middle of a hectic presidential campaign for "nothing".

[johnbaugh]

Trump says he would meet with Mueller, OOPS I MEANT TO SAY WOULDNT! MISSOURI VOTE CLAIRE MACASKILL U.S.SENATE!

[smooth_sundaes]

Trump convince Mueller? The big deal maker? The lying king? Rabbit caught in headlights?!

[marieb]

Emin Agalarov has a concert in NY in January, serve him a subpoena when he gets off stage!

[vickypaulson]

Mueller would say to Trump "We found several witches, and we need to ask you about them."

[TacosAndBenders]

I told my friends I have a date with an attractive girl. They told me she was imaginary. Jokes on them because they are too.

[edwardstacksr]

Another "Watergate"? Anything is sometimes does things he should not do because it raises Twitter habit could be his undoing!

[joannejonesjones]

Trump tell the truth for once in your life.

[streakermaximus]

I don't see what the problem is. The top people running a presidential campaign have plenty of free time to organize a meeting about nothing. Case closed.

[alanroberts]

America will be great again once Donald Trump is gone.

[jamesl]

We like to have meetings about nothing. Because we are airheads. Nothing in our heads. No thoughts... no ideas... just da da da

[cropcircle]

So he's going full Sienfeld, "it was a meeting about nothing."

[rp]

This Animal Farm administration has to go. Hopefully our system is strong enough to correct such a deeply disturbing Constitutional crisis.

[imjustsayin]

Is it possible that Mueller could request multiple meetings with Trump or is he only going to get one shot (if that)?
